RE: Su Casa Elevator GMQS Exemption by Community
Development Director
DATE: February 8, 1995
SUMMARY: The applicant, Eric Casper, was required to install an
elevator as part of the change in use and occupancy of a leased
space in the Wheeler Square Office building, 315 East Hyman. The
elevator was built on the exterior of the building and increased
the building ' s existing floor area. The elevator added 117 square
feet of floor area. Pursuant to Section 24-8-104 A. 1 . (d) , the
Community Development Director may exempt the expansion of a
commercial or office space if no new net leasable is added. The
elevator is not considered net leasable area .
ZONING: Commercial Core, CC
STAFF COMMENTS: The applicant has been required by the Building
Department to install an operable elevator in the building to
comply with Americans with Disabilities Act .
Staff has reviewed this proposal . The Planning and Zoning
Commission have reviewed and approved the proposal because the
elevator shaft encroached into the Wheeler Opera House Viewplane .
The building is located within the historic commercial core and was
also reviewed by the HPC.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the GMQS Exemption
for the expansion of commercial space which does not increase the
new net leasable.
I hereby approve the GMQS Exemption for
the installation of an elevator at 315
East Hyman finding that it does not
increase its net leasable square footage

MEMORANDUM
TO: Aspen Planning and Zoning Commission
FROM: Leslie Lamont, Deputy Director
DATE: December 6, 1994
RE: Su Casa Elevator - View Plane Review
SUMMARY: As part of a recent renovation to the building at 315
East Hyman, the applicant is required to install an elevator to
meet recent Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and UBC code
modifications. The required mechanical equipment for the elevator
and the required clearance for safety/maintenance requirements of
the elevator push the elevator shaft above the roof line and into
the Wheeler Opera House view plane.
APPLICANT: Eric Casper
LOCATION: 315 East Hyman, Aspen
ZONING: Commercial Core (CC)
STAPP COMMENTS: Pursuant to Section 24-7-501 the Mountain view
planes subject development to a heightened review so as to protect
mountain views from obstruction, strengthen the environmental and
aesthetic character of the city, maintain property values, and
enhance the city's tourist industry by maintaining the city's
heritage as a mountain community.
The proposed elevator shaft encroaches into the Wheeler Opera House
view plane. The shaft is located at the back of the open courtyard
of the Wheeler Square Office building. The elevator was first
proposed to stop on the second floor and would have leveled off
with the existing roof of the office building. However, a recent
discussion with the building department has confirmed that the law
offices on the third floor must also have accessibility for the
disabled and must also tie into the proposed elevator.
In order to comply with the safety regulations for construction of
the elevator, a 42" clearance must exist between the last or
highest stop of the elevator cab itself and the top of the shaft.
This is a safety precaution for a mechanic to work on top of the
cab and have enough room to escape being smashed if the elevator
suddenly moves up to the last stop. It is the 42"clearance and
the required venting stack that will protrude above the existing
building roof line.
In fact, when confirming that the higher elevator shaft is in the
Wheeler Opera House view plane, it was discovered that a
3�
significant portion of the top floor of the existing building is
also in the view plane.
Section 24-7-505 B. allows the planning staff to exempt mechanical
equipment on existing buildings from view plane review except for
a satellite dish and an elevator shaft (and any other significant
piece of equipment) . Therefore staff is requesting a Commission
review of the proposed elevator shaft.
According to the criteria for view plane review "no mountain view
plane may be infringed upon. . ." However, the Commission may exempt
any developer from the requirements whenever it is determined that
the view plane does not so effect the parcel as to require
application of PUD or that the effects of the view plane may be
otherwise accommodated.
RESPONSE: The elevator is a requirement of the recently adopted
federal mandate to enable the physically challenged to access
businesses and services whether public or private. The proposed
intrusion into the view plane, beyond the portion of building that
already exists in the view plane, is purely mechanical. The
intrusion does not represent additional net leasable area, liveable
or useable area. Occupants will not be able to access the roof top
for leisure/recreational purposes. The extended elevator shaft
will be no higher than the old elevator shaft that exists but is
not used in the building. Nor will the extended shaft detract form
the existing clutter that is currently found on top of the roof
such as swamp coolers, vents, etc.
During a site visit, staff viewed the roof top from the second
floor of the Wheeler Opera House which is the only significant
mountain view from inside the building. The elevator shaft is
negligible and the second floor of the Opera House is well above
the roof top of the office building.
RECOIDIENDATION: Finding that the affect on the view plane is
negligible and due to the existing mechanical equipment on the
roof, the pure mechanical nature of the intrusion, and the federal
requirement to bring the building up to accessibility standards the
intrusion of the elevator shaft into the view plane does not affect
the parcel in a manner that a PUD review would alleviated of the
affects otherwise accommodated staff recommends approval with the
following conditions:
1. The elevator shaft shall not extend beyond 42" above the
existing roof top (which is the higher portion of the building's
roof) . The vent shall not extend greater than 12" above the roof
of the shaft.
(f"-�% The applicant shall paint the existing fixtures on p of the
roof a color that will blend into the roof's surface and emov the
portion of the old elevator shaft that is on top of the'roof.Y

3. All material representations made in the application and in the
public hearing shall be adhered to or the approval is void.
4. This approval does not negate necessary HPC review.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "I move to approve the Wheeler Opera House
view plan review for the elevator shaft to extend 42" and the vent
stack 12" above the existing roof top at 315 East Hyman as
represented on the submitted plans with the condition as outlined
in Planning Office memo dated December 6, 1994 . "

Re: Elevator for Su Casa Restaurant
Wheeler Square Building
Dear Leslie,
The following is in response to Attachment 2 of the GMQS
Exemption by Planning Director application :
1 . Letter of authorization from Property Owners is attached.
2. The street address of the proposed development is :
315 East Hyman Avenue
Aspen , Colorado 81611
The legal Description of the proposed development is:
Lots E, F & G, Block 82
Aspen Townsite
Pitkin County, Colorado
3. Ownership:
A copy of the Title Insurance Policy is attached .
4. Location:
A vicinity map is attached.
5. The Applicant proposes to add a three story, four stop
elevator and elevator shaft of CMU construction with Brick veneer
to match the brick of the existing building, in the southeast
corner of the existing Courtyard. The elevator shaft will be
approximately 9 '-4" x 7 ' -10 1 /2" in plan , and will extend from
the partial basement to approximately 1 '-0" above the existing
roof of the top floor ( approximately 15 ' -0" above existing
grade ) . The roof will be a flat , membrane roof to match the
existing roof structure.
Rod Dyer, Principal Architect, Consulting Architect, Designer
The proposed development is located within the confines of an
existing building not historically designated and will match as
close as possible, the construction , design and color of the
existing building.
The following is in response to Attachment 3 of the GMQS
Exemption by Planning Director application :
1 . Scaled drawings of the proposed development Site are
attached.
2. Scaled drawings of the proposed development are attached .
Because the drawings have been revised since submitting for
Building Permit , to accommodate a 5th stop located at the upper
level , the drawings attached have been " redlined" to reflect what
was originally submitted. The additional 5th stop will be
applied for under separate Permit application if it is decided to
go ahead with this portion of the project . The 5th stop will
not , however; add to the F.A.R. as this is a split level
continuation of the existing main floor.
The proposed development is in response to a requirement of the
Aspen/Pitkin Regional Building Department to satisfy A. D.A.
handicap access requirements to the existing structure.
Please contact me at your earliest convenience if you have any
questions concerning this application .
